    Should i inspect reeds?

    My outboard runs fine at higher rpms but when idling it ends up stalling after awhile. I installed new carb kit,fuel diaphram. Crowley marine shows there are three reed blocks is this true? Only one carb on this motor also could it be fuel return check valves that screw into block.

    Need prop 2000 crestliner superhawk, 2000 115hp mercury

    The current setup is 19pitch black max. Its dinged little and figure getting a new one makes sense. The length boat 17 foot, aluminum crestliner superhawk. Does dropping to a 17 pitch 4 blade make sense. Volvo penta makes one thats affordble.
